Hadad (Adad) — Edomite prince and adversary of Solomon
Hadad was an Edomite royal who became Solomon's adversary, escaping to Egypt as a child when David conquered Edom (1 Kings 11:14-22). The name derives from the Aramaic storm-god Hadad (also Adad), widely attested in ancient Near Eastern sources. This particular Hadad survived Joab's massacre, grew up in Pharaoh's court, married into Egyptian royalty, and later returned to trouble Israel's kingdom — embodying the persistent threat from Edom.
